Macau Skyline

Kyle and I are casual photographers taking more pictures in the last year than ever before to document and share our Asian adventures.  We don't have a super, snazzy, high tech camera so many of our pictures are not always the best quality or very clear but they do help us capture and tell our Macau story.

On an unusually clear night, Kyle had an urge to capture the Macau skyline.  He took the camera to the top of Taipa Grande and Taipa Pequena, experimented with different settings and speeds, and got a collection of different skyline shots.  

This picture, looking across the bridge to the Macau peninsula, is the MGM on the right with the Wynn mostly hidden behind it, to the left of the MGM is One Central (high-end residential and luxury shopping), at the end of the bridge is the Grand Lisboa with the original Lisboa (the small pink cupcake looking building to the right built in 1970), to the left of the Grand Lisboa is the Bank of China, and the bright building in the back ground on the far left is the Emperor Palace.  

The next 2 pictures show the skyline along the Cotai Strip which is located on the island side of Macau.
Here is the Galaxy (which we can see from our bedroom window),

City of Dreams is on the far left, Sands Cotai Central is the 3 buildings just left of center, a clock tower is in the middle, and the largest casino in the world to date is the Venetian on the right.
